Critic Reviews

60 VideoGamer
Despite a particularly cheap feeling cue, this is certainly the best Realplay game. Its graphics are again basic but the features are fully fledged, especially in comparison to the other titles in the series. While it's far from revolutionary, it's certainly a hard one to put down.

You're better off just taking a couple of 50p coins down to The Rat and Parrot. [Feb 2008, p.72]
50 Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
It works, but a lack of variety and entertainment value means RealPlay Pool is no substitute for the real thing. [Jan 2008, p.90]

The gameplay is tedious, the pool cue controller is pointless, the visuals are shockingly bad. RealPlay Pool is a gimmicky, ugly game that not even hardened fans of the sport will enjoy.
